Mackfend

This name seems to belong to the category of humorous Sc names, often containing verbal constructions, such as Glowrourhim # CUS, Hungerhimout # KTT and Mackimrough # KTT. The first element may thus be Sc mak ‘make’, the second element Sc fend ‘to defend, protect; to support or maintain oneself; to shelter’, with the sense ‘make (to) support (yourself)’, implying that this was not easy on this upland ridge.
